The wounded, ill and injured as well as their families took part in the Wounded Warrior Battalion change of command ceremony late on Tuesday. “It is a bittersweet day, but far more sweet than bitter,” said Marine Col. Willard A. Buhl, the commanding officer of Wounded Warrior Regiment. “I don’t know if it gets much better than this in the Marine Corps.” Nearly 300 people ranging from friends, family, Marines, sailors and civilians took part as Lt. Col. Nicholas E. Davis relinquished command of Wounded Warrior Battalion East to Lt. Col. Leland Suttee on Tuesday. The battalion is charged with providing continuous, far-reaching leadership to Marines and sailors worldwide in order to ensure all wounded warriors and families successfully transition back to full duty or civilian life. jdnews/news/military/wounded-ill-and-injured-receive-new-commanding-officer-1.157551?tc=cr
